Arsène Wenger believes Thierry Henry's stoppage-time goal in the win over
Blackburn will be remembered as a "special" moment if it turns out
to be his last strike at the Emirates Stadium.

Henry, who returned to Arsenal on loan, is scheduled to head back to New York after away matches against Sunderland and AC Milan, so wrapping up the scoring against Rovers could have come in the last minute of his final home game.

Robin van Persie had scored a hat-trick, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain netted twice and Mikel Arteta also found the back of the net before Henry struck to complete a 7-1 win, their biggest Premier League win at the Emirates.

"With Thierry going back to the States he played, normally, his last game at the Emirates and in the last minute he scored his goal. That is really something special," Wenger said.

"It has been very positive, everyone listens to his advice as he's delivered here and they all want to deliver. He's respected.

"He is still not away yet, normally until after the Milan game. Sunderland and Milan are two massive games."
